First You Laugh: Rules for the Knockout Game

They always laugh, these Knockout Game artists. That is why they call it a game. The fun is more important than the violence.

But lots of media reports ignore that.

The latest example of the Knockout Game in Charlottesville, Virginia illustrates all of the features of this increasingly popular past time. Let’s start with the central organizing feature of the mayhem: First, the attackers were black.

Jeanne Doucette and her boyfriend Marc Adams were enjoying the holiday season in downtown Charlottesville when Adams tripped. As he tried to get up, three black people came upon them, one said something, perhaps even offering him a hand up.

Much like a similar episode of the Knockout Game last year in Springfield, Missouri: A bicyclist hit a pot hole near a black fraternity party, causing him to fly over the handlebars. One of the party-goers came out to see if biker was alright. When he put his hand out to help him up, he punched the bicyclist in the face with the other hand.

kicked Adams while he was on the ground, before being joined by his friends who beat Adams severely, breaking his ankle, cracking ribs and knocking out one of his teeth.

While Doucette suffered bruising to her head and tearing of the cartilage in her ear, Adams bore the brunt of the men’s aggression, sustaining broken bones and a concussion that he said has robbed him of any memory of the incident and its immediate aftermath.

All for no other reason than the attackers could attack and the victims could not resist. The predators did not utter any racial epithets. None that the victims told police anyway. Without the magic words, it would not be correct to call this a hate crime.

But given that the overwhelming number of people who play this game are black, and most of the victims are not, it would be equally incorrect to say race has no role in the violence. Or that the violence is random. It is not.

The assault moved up the street as Adams and Doucette tried to escape their attackers. They screamed at passersby for help. They screamed at their attackers to stop. No one listened. The beating continued.

Then came the next identifying feature of the Knockout Game: The laughing.

they had no apparent interest in robbing her. Instead, she said, they seemed to delight in the brutality.

“They were laughing, high-fiving, hugging, and then returning to kick him,” said Doucette. “There was some kind of camaraderie to it.”

The predators laugh. They are having fun. In Philadelphia, a businessman in a similar situation pleaded with his attackers to stop. He asked them: “Why are you doing this? Why?”

“Its not our fault you can’t fight,” they told him. Then the laughing started again.

In Milwaukee, when a group of 50 to 100 black people attacked a few white kids on a Fourth of July picnic, a black woman stood over a white woman during the attack and motioned to her friend, laughing: “White girl bleed a lot,” she said, laughing even louder.

Eventually the violence ended when the attackers knocked Adams out. And they got tired of beating up the girlfriend. But not before Doucette took their pictures.

Then came the next traditional phase of the Knockout Game: The dismissal. The disinterest. Doucette turned her photos over to police and waited for the full court press to catch the dangerous men who tried to kill her boyfriend. And her.

Not that anyone would call this a life threatening attack. That’s another part of the Knockout Game: Police and reporters usually call the injuries “non-life threatening” or minor — when this kind of violence can shatter a life time for a long time.

And the perpetrators are rarely apprehended.

The victims — and their families – are now left wondering what happened. Why no one cares. And why they feel weird about talking about the fact that their attackers were black, and it has happened before. Many times.

That is what happened to Sherry Godfrey in Springfield, Missouri when her son was the victim of racial violence from people attending (another) black fraternity party in Springfield. Police did not investigate, other than asking a few perfunctory questions of a few party-goers. And when, last year, Godfrey asked if her son was the victim of racial violence, officials at the school where the attackers attended and local met met her inquiries with impatience. Then silence. Says Godfrey:

If you have never been to Springfield, there might be a reason: Not much happens here. It is the home of Brad Pitt and Bass Pro Shops. It is a quiet and safe place to raise a family. So we thought.

After learning more about this epidemic of racial violence, I asked the police officers investigating the assault on my son if this had ever happened before in Springfield.

“All the time,” he said.

But no stories in the paper.

Unhappy with the police and media indifference to her son’s beating, she put up a web site — JusticeInSpringfield.com — where she gathered all the police reports and other information about the attack on her son. The perpetrators have yet to be brought to justice, but she’s not giving up:

We know that people at the party know who is responsible. We are putting up this web site in the hope that telling the world who they are, they will tell the world what they know. Trevor never saw his attackers and was unable to defend himself, but we are going to fight back by seeking justice.

Nearly two weeks after the attack, the physical wounds are healing, but both Doucette and Adams are troubled by what they see as a lack of response from the Charlottesville Police Department.

“It’s like they don’t care,” said Doucette, who said she called police on December 29 to follow up on the investigation and was told that the case had been suspended due to a lack of information and had not been assigned to a detective. “I don’t understand why they couldn’t even have the courtesy to call and say we’re not even going to look for them,” she said.

This has just got to be racist! You KNOW that they are just like us! /sarcasm

akbass

I believe Smith & Wesson has the ultimate Game Over solution for these useless oxygen thieving societal parasites.

LaSantaHermandad

The problem is that ammunition is hard to acquire. The “youths” seem to have no trouble in that area.

SDN

Most posters that a gun is the solution to the problem. Of course if you’re attacked by someone that’s the best, but overall I would say “that’s all ?” but this kind of thing need public policy measures like crime in general. The first step is to raise awareness about this problem among the public, particularly among Blacks because the actions of these thugs might push many people to racism. Secondly to stop the double standards that pervades american society and finally to abolish criminal rights legislation which makes it harder to prosecute criminals.

Godagesil Rex

Seriously? Yeah, public policies do a lot to prevent anything. Political Correctness drives most public policies and has created the double standard that allows this kind of thing to occur in the first place. Your “cure” is the cause of the disease in the first place.

Remember

Mess the baboons up. Use force against these criminals and then just walk away. Don’t even report the incident.

Ray Burke

They do. Why not do the same?

Jostalin2013

Why would anyone bother with the police? They aren’t coming to help you, if they come at all. Take care of the problem and be on your way. If it happens in your home or place of business – that is what garbage bags and neighbor’s dumpsters are for.

Avi

This reminds me of Sodom and Gomorrah – where people took pleasure in physically aggression of total strangers for no reason whatsoever. Little do the aggressors realize that they are giving themselves bad karma that they will pay dearly to wipe out throughout their lives.

Elected one what? Revolutionary Communist? Phony? Race baiter? Muslim supremacist? America Basher? Habitual liar and thief? You bet we did. Because he lied about who and what he was and paid millions of dollars to seal his personal records and shield his many past crimes and criminal associations from public scrutiny. I sincerely hope you get the change that Obama wants for you. You richly deserve it.

m4253y

okay, something i find glaringly obvious in all of these stories…where is any mention of the victims approaching their ada or da regarding their police not fulfilling their obligation and sworn duty to uphold the law?

Drakken

The police as we know them now are revenue takers and God forbid that they arrest someone of the black community, where those in the black community will file racial profiling charges and call the police racist for doing their jobs and after all is said and done, bankrupt said policeman in warfare litigation. Much easier to write DWI, seat belt, and speeding tickets than to actually do protect and serve police work.

m4253y

thanks, i understand and appreciate that because i like you agree that this is sadly what it has come to. but mostly disturbing is that ada’s and da’s are elected officials and it would appear to me that some of these folks have to start going after the them with public support. ultimately it will come down to just a good old fashioned us vs. them and the requisite pounding the blacks into the ground…which is what the caliphate is hoping for.

Drakken

The DA’s and ADA’s are political animals looking to punch their tickets to higher office, the blacks are screeching the loudest hence the hacks of the DA’s office will cater exclusively to the black community and give them anything they want, and will sacrifice the police on the alter of PC/MC and to avoid rioting at all costs, the average rank and file police officer knows this and will not stick their necks out any longer, because they don’t want to run the gauntlet of lawfare. The average cop now is going to look the other way if there comes a time where whites start shooting black thugs and then let the blacks riot.

A Z

Mr Flaherty

the FBI’s Supplementary Homicide Reports: 1980-2011 will not break down assaults by race of victim, race of offender and type of type of assault.

It needs to be done so the usual suspects don’t say anecdotal.
I know the government lies about the U3 statistic. They were caught lying in September. Many of use know how they conveniently overlook Labor Force Participation Rate. So we know the government lies. The do so with economic stats and with crime stats.

Yes, the left’s little tricks of linguistics are getting rather silly. Quote them evidence – any sort of evidence, about anything – and they reject it as “anecdotal”, while quoting their own junk science as “scientific proof”.

Elizabeth Cape Cod

Liberals keep telling blacks that their impoverishment is the result of others, and now ‘others’ are going to pay!

TheOrdinaryMan

The police are, more often than not, socialist in outlook. They’ll tell you anything but the truth. For example, they’ll tell you that you have to register your gun with the Feds. No, you don’t–the gun is your personal property. You know where they’re coming from, because they use the word “global” a lot. And take a concealed carry course. Coming soon to a gun range near you. And practice your Tae-Kwon do.

PhillipGaley

It may be that, in the 2nd Am right to keep and bare, one’s gun is immune to “registration”, . . .

Barbaracvm

Or is it likely the police are cowards! They are to afraid of the black gang thugs so they look the other way.

Drakken

It is not that they are afraid of them, they are afraid of the lawfare that comes with it.

PaleAle

The police & media won’t take this seriously until the knockout game is replaced by the blackout game. Then it will be considered a hate crime.

PhillipGaley

Yes, except, as my post above, there must be sufficient numbers of people so that, common consciousness concerning whatever the problem and the solution is, can be of effect. The modus operandi of the Hitler / Obama totalitarian types is to go slowly enough that, the trap can be set and sprung, . . .

Drakken

The problem with Comrade Obummer and company is the law of unintended consequences, by the time they spring that trap, it will be far too late.

Drakken

Not if you shoot, police your brass, and walk away playing the 3 monkeys.

matt

if your white your not right any more

LaSantaHermandad

They only way this is going to stop is when White victims defend themselves and retaliate.

PhillipGaley

Well yes. The facts of life push until whoever feels compelled, will get up and get out, and do something about whatever it is that troubles. At the beginning of the Am Revolution, king George is reported to have grumbled: “The Presbyterians are in rebellion.”; and had things been otherwise, why then might ppl here have remained English subjects. And recently is it reported that, in Syria, the Christians have taken up guns in defense—finally—and, they’ll do alright. And, what can be said about these people who are fined and wrecked for selling fresh milk or eggs?

But in all of this, that thing which is known as critical mass must occur, . . . there must be enough people who feel disaffected to have then achieved common consciousness concerning whatever the problem and the solution is, . . .

Drakken

All it takes is a snowball pushed down a hill to start a avalanche.

Ray Burke

The problem is that we are pushing your snowball Uphill. The question is, will we ever reach the top so we can get busy starting your avalanche.

Drakken

I truly believe that the snowball is at the top of the hill and once someone leans against it, well the rest will be history.

Ray Burke

Man, I surely hope you’re right !!!

Ray Burke

Those milk and egg people just might be better off in Syria with their Christian brothers and sisters.

PhillipGaley

Yeah, . . . if I were planning on selling the real milk and eggs, I think I might rather try to do it in some nation where they appreciate and value fresh whole foods, . . . and, as I surf around the net, and read, I can’t help but think that, there are just lottsa them, . . . And you’re mentioning Syria, I’m given to understand that, the Christians in Syria—the men—have now taken up guns to defend their families, . . . and to this I would say, it’s about time!

Ray Burke

With “extreme prejudice” !!!

tic…tic…BOOM

Uh, look at George Zimmerman, the “White Hispanic”. I am not saying do nothing, just be very careful what you do and how you do it.

Jostalin2013

THAT IS WHAT THE KENYAN WANTS. The excuse to crack down. Sooner or later we will have to give it to him and he knows it. Asymmetrical Warfare int the name of the game. Caucasians had better start learning it before it goes critical.

The Russian Revolution ended when The White Army was crushed by the Red Army in open warfare. Had they utilized Asymmetrical Warfare tactics, they would have had enough time for the Red Army to collapse under the weight of its own oppression and possibly the realization of what the Bolsheviks would soon do when unopposed. Once the White Army was destroyed there was no counter measure. The people realized then, but there was no way to resist nor defeat the Red Army from within.

Blacks get special treatment and are never charged with hate crimes. That status is reserved for whites only. Blacks in some locations like Milwaukee are violent to everyone of all races but enjoy targeting sites of strangers and making hits that are race based.
Its a sign the republic degenerates when we lose equal application of the law as a foundation.

Drakken

Well if that is the case, make sure your armed up, as a lady, I would highly recommend the Walther PPK, compact, and easy to use. If you have to use, make sure you walk away, and if you have time always police your brass.

http://www.facebook.com/aemoreira81 aemoreira81

Blacks get special treatment and are never charged with hate crimes.

Because they’re not stupid enough to let their intentions be known except for a handful of cases. Hate crime laws function like Darwinism…you have to be really stupid to get charged with one.

Sussex Girl

Notice how the victims are always white, Asian, or, most recently in NYC, Jewish? Notice how they’re never Hispanic? That’s because the black thugs know an attack on a Hispanic means retaliation from the sons/nephews/cousins/male neighbors of the victim. Just saying.

laura r

they do attack hispanic. there was an incident in NYC @the iceskating rink. they beat up (or mudered) a boy for his jacket.

autdrew

LOTS of black-Hispanic problems in California. You just don’t hear about it

Trappedincalifornia

Someone needs to start a national database so we can finally see how often this is happening across the country.

Having more information might spur investigations into WHY all these police departments refuse to investigate black on white attacks. Who is telling these police departments to stand down when they should be investigating these crimes & the DA’s should be prosecuting the perpetrators.

Watching this it could almost make one think some government entity is trying to encourage race-based violence.

I wish someone with a gun had been on hand to shoot these people who were beating up this poor couple. It appalls me that no one helped when they called for help. I am a small Asian woman, there is no way I could physically fight a large black man, but I would try to do something… if I had had a gun, I would have shot at these thugs. To me it is not about race, it is right and wrong. It is wrong to assault someone. It is not a game. It is evil. These people have no morality. They are soul-less monsters.

laura r

how many poeple called 911 on their cell phones?

Redwine123

Most will take a video for posting on YouTube rather than dial 911. American society is circling the drain. If we don’t start to re-educate our children – and ourselves – to be moral, responsible, and just people, the whole nation will descend into utter chaos and violence.

laura r

the purpose of a cell phone, #1 is to use it for an emergency. what were people doing? continuing to shop & stuff their faces? maybe the culture is getting used this, & will just not react? 3rd world all the way……

ssohara

Also, what the race hustlers don’t realize (or maybe they do) is that people who are not racist will start becoming wary of black people. If this thing had been nipped in the bud and swift justice brought to bear against the perpetrator, no problems. But because the police, media, etc., are looking the other way, it just encourages more of this behavior, and the more it happens the more whites and others can justify avoiding black people, stigmatizing them, etc. And it will be rational. Thus race relations will worsen and we might end up with full out race wars… meanwhile ignoring the real problems facing all of us in this country. Instead of working together, we’ll be too busy fighting each other. Who benefits from this?

Drakken

When whites go back to group identity as the blacks do now, that is when things will hit critical mass.

laura r

this is exactly what they want. we are going into step #2, martial law.

http://www.facebook.com/aemoreira81 aemoreira81

If people were really interested in solving this problem, instead of looking toward black leaders, they would demand that the state legislature stiffen punishments. Most of the people committing these attacks are minors who can’t be tried as adults because of their age.

ssohara

Perhaps they should punish the parents for raising these monsters. Or give judges more leeway – though some judges are so leftist now, who knows? As someone who has friends of all races, this bothers me because of course moral and decent black people will get stigmatized by association, but, on the other hand, how can you blame non-blacks for avoiding groups of blacks when they know there is a chance this kind of thing might happen? The best thing for everyone would be to harshly punish this type of behavior. We need to have the same laws for everyone and have the law be consistently applied.

http://www.facebook.com/aemoreira81 aemoreira81

Unless the children were designated as PINS, CHINS, MINS, or something similar prior (which would indicate parental neglect), I’m not sure that it would be worth it. Now, if the designation was made prior, then go for it—the prior designation would serve as grounds.

Marlin B. Newburn

The silence of the MSM only perpetuates the brutality of the knockout game.

As well, the attackers, members of the FFA – Future Felons of America – believe they are justified in their sadism due to ancestral suffering, and currently imagined social injustices due to their race.

A bonus for the attackers is that they believe they’re demonstrating their “manhood” or “womanhood” by brutalizing non-blacks.

Kids these days, eh?

This may gratify their enablers in the MSM, in public office, and in church pulpits, but the problem with it is that when a non-black is not readily available, and the need to demonstrate their rap-inspired machismo manifests, they assault and sometimes kill other blacks. This matters not to those who displace responsibility.

Those who defend or displace responsibility for the savagery of the attackers will continue to gain personal wealth, job stability, and social recognition. All they need are useful idiots for that purpose. With the FFA, they’ll never run out of that necessary ingredient.

wow! great one.

Chris Behme

In the era of hopenchange, whites are second class citizens.
Barry is happy with his homies.

no patsy

I’d be waiting to catch the attackers one by one,when they’re least expecting it. The couple has their pictures to ID them. And give them more than a simple beating. a taste of their own medicine. Plus,this couple knows who the fraternity is and where their frat house is. PAYBACK is in order.
After all,the rule of law is no longer in effect.

DennisMets

giggers can not be trusted by any whites, why would u want to live around them? If u raise your children around them u can expect the little girls to be raped by blacks u can expect your kids to be bullied and beat by blacks. whites are programed to be tolerant of all races while blacks are programed by their leaders such as the preachers to hate whites and jews and to be intolerant

johnlac

If there’s one thing all the assaults by the black klan on non-blacks proves is the futility of American education in civilizing these feral creatures. Undoubtedly, virtually every violent, black thug attended schools where he or she was supposedly inculcated with all the liberal values about being nice to everyone and loving humanity. When they watched tv as young children, all the kids shows they watched, like Sesame Street, emphasized the same things.
Nevertheless, a very high percentage of black youths appear to be almost totally uneducated and choose to act outside the boundaries of a normal, civilized society. Harsher measures directed at these feral youths have to be taken before an all-out race war occurs.

DennisMets

the real solution is for someone to speak out against black racism as it does the fake white racism.

Trapper

I saw a convenient accessory for white people: cane swords. They should work quite well, I think.

Never ever bring a knife to a gun fight.

“They were laughing, high-fiving, hugging, and then returning to kick
him,” said Doucette. “There was some kind of camaraderie to it.”

Remarkable how these thugs resemble Islamist terrorists who assault Christians, Jews and Infidels wantonly and with disgusting delight. So what’s next? Maybe getting guns and using Whites for target practice as if they were engaged in an arcade game?

Ellman48

“The predators laugh. They are having fun. In Philadelphia, a businessman
in a similar situation pleaded with his attackers to stop. He asked
them: “Why are you doing this? Why?”

If this man survived this assault I hope that at the first opportunity he bought a gun so that ‘there would never be a next time’. That’s exactly what I would do, just as the ‘Subway Vigilante’ did.

Of course, such vigilantism would produce a prompt and vigorous response from the police. No effort or cost would be too great to apprehend the vigilante who only defended himself (or others) against putrid thugs. But the police have no time for black-on-white ‘knockout’ crimes. Interesting, is it not?

Ellman48

“It’s like they don’t care,” said Doucette, who said she called police
on December 29 to follow up on the investigation and was told that the
case had been suspended due to a lack of information and had not been
assigned to a detective. “I don’t understand why they couldn’t even have
the courtesy to call and say we’re not even going to look for them,”
she said.”

WAKE UP PEOPLE! The police will not protect you or apprehend your attackers as long as they are black. You will need to defend yourselves! You are the prey and they are the hunters!

Justin

Time for selective exemptions to the 14th Amendment!

In your country, perhaps. But not mine!

Godagesil Rex

This “game” has not come to Texas, at least not perpetrated by blacks on whites. I doubt it will become popular in any other state where concealed carry is popular. It if does, there will be a lot more Trevon Martin episodes and a lot more blacks in cemetaries due to gun violence and a reduction in unemployment numbers and entitlement payouts. Hey! Maybe that is something the current Administration should consider to solve the current budget crisis, give white Concealed Handgun License holders free ammuntion, or at least a tax break on their ammo purchases. All in the interest of the economy and country.

golfmom3

I wouldn’t be so sure. I personally know someone who got beaten pretty bad by a black man in a bar in Texas earlier this past summer. The white guy had been celebrating a bit and was following his buddies to the restroom. Just like Charlottesville and Springfield, the attacker focuses on someone not on full alert. To further complicate the matter, a male victim limited in capacity to respond finds the situation humiliating. Notice that the voices driving for justice are mostly women.

This is widespread across America — the best advice is to STAY ALERT in public places. If you’re going to drink to the point of compromising response, do it at home.

I agree that people should be carrying a gun for personal protection, but according to this article, the victims never saw it coming. The only way to effectively protect yourself is to avoid interaction with potential Knockout Game players. White Flight: it’s not just for neighborhoods anymore. Yes, it’s racial profiling, but the victims of the Knockout Game have suffered facial disfigurement, the loss or permanent handicapping of healthy body parts, psychological trauma, and even death. If the government and “Black Leadership” doesn’t care enough about the victims to stop this, then self preservation is the only response left.

Derelictus

Well, whites DID vote with their feet, in the 60s onwards…fled from the cities to the burbs…now decent blacks are leaving too…and all that’s left is crime-ridden shells of once great cities, filled with violent cowards and society’s gutter trash.

laura r

if these thugs are going to upscale malls, then these places should be off linits as well. remember recently the former mayor candidate who was assualted in starbucks. also all those riots near nostrums?

Richard

Imagine if the attackers were a white gang and the victim was black. obama himself would be stepping in and calling for the death penalty

RandomThoughts

These thugs have been ask to come into the police Dept and pick up their court dates of feb 5th for misdemeanor simple assault .

Charlottesville PD did everything possible to hide that this was the knockout game and all local news sources refuse comments fro the public .

game

The police & media won’t take this seriously until the knockout game is replaced by the blackout game.

The Left is hoping and praying that white radicals will be inspired to retaliate with violence.

What’s interesting is to see how the police just seem to “go along” with this apathy. And I have no doubt they’re apathetic because the fix is in from the Feds. As long as Obama is in power, it’s time for some payback for the past..

libertarian1234

“As long as Obama is in power, it’s time for some payback for the past..”

I have no doubt you’ve got it right on, but it’s the work of hate-filled idiots. And it’s been going on long before Obama was elected. We’re finally hearing about it.

What it amounts to is payback by people who were not only never wronged……… but have been treated like privileged subjects…….. against people who have harmed no one.

Only an utter imbecile thinks he’s getting paybacks in that manner. It isn’t “paybacks” anyway. It’s pure unadulterated anti-white hate, and it’s high time everybody calls it for what it is.

Albert8184

It’s been going on long before Obama was elected…. but never before was there an opportunity to act with near impunity until an administration came along, willing to give it at least a wink and a nod of unspoken support. I mean, it’s obvious why these acts are not being prosecuted. Because the Left run government supports this sort of low-level, low intensity terrorism.

Jonathan

FYI, it’s not “past time,” it’s “pastime.”

The knock out game has been played by many young adults. I think making one race solely responsible for the game is wrong. Just recently Conrad Alvin Barrett was arrested for knocking out a 79 year old man. Race may play a role in the game, but based on the “rules” people just approach anyone, knock them out, laugh then leave. Sadly and most importantly these young adults seem motivated to play the game because it is ‘fun’. It is a random act of violence in groups of young adults trying to maintain their image in their in-groups. It is a trend and game that if not followed in your group you will be considered in the out-group.
